Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream container-selinux package and not the container-selinux package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Go. When FIPS mode is enabled on a system, container runtimes may incorrectly handle certain file paths due to improper validation in the containers/common Go library. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit symbolic links and trick the system into mounting sensitive host directories inside a container. This issue also allows attackers to access critical host files, bypassing the intended isolation between containers and the host system.
